Pundit James McFadden was very🍒 impressed with Youri Tielemans in Aston Villa’💮s win against Hibernian yesterday.

Speaking during the of the game, McFadden said Tielemans effortlessly played the ball out of defence.

McFadden shared that Tielemans proved press-resistant and w🐻as🍌 quickly able to turn a difficult situation into an attack.

: “It’s just incre🔯dible, he had a little look over his left shoulder.

“He’s under pressure and just flicks it around ♒the corner, no problem at all.

“An🎉d from a position where it looks like Hibs can maybe force a mistake, they have to defend outside their own box.”

Youri Tielജemans once again had to settle for a spot on the bench 🎉during Villa’s trip to Scotland.

The Be♓lgian who signed on a this summer also watched from the sidelines in Villa’s opening two Premier League games.

Whilst Tielemans is obviously an excellent player himself, it’s an incredibly hard task to displace either Boubacar Kamara or Douglas Luiz right now.

Boubacar Kamara was actually named as someone who Liverpool’s data analysts had been recommending as a transfer target this summer.

Despite his good showing it seems Tielemans w🍰ill continue to settle for a watching brief in the coming weeks.

Unai Emery’s si🅺de looks to have found an excellent balance with John McGinn now deployed out on the left wing.

And with Moussa Diaby and Leon Bailey also showing 👍great signs, there’s little room for Tielemans just now.

H🎀owever, as McFadden’s praise would protest, Tielemans surely will play a big role for Aston Villa across the season.

Tielemans has been courted by bigger sides in the past and was something of a coup 🍷for Villa.

Unai Emery has made so much progress with t෴his Villa side already and the Tielemans🅷 signing really was a testament to that.

Last night’s 5-0 win means Villa’s European journey is just beginning, a♔nd🔯 Tielemans will hope to be a big part of it.
